OWL-99

Milford, OH – Discover Cincinnati Nature Center (CNC) at night at Hoots & Hops on August 23, 2013 from 7-11 PM.  During this adult-only community event you will be guided along CNC’s Discovery Trail at night exploring the wonders of nature while partaking in beer tastings from Mt. Carmel Brewing Company and 50 West Brewing Company.

The event will include guided hikes with opportunities to gaze through telescopes at the night sky, encounter bats, spiders, fireflies and amphibians, and relax with new and old friends.  Come back to the Krippendorf Lodge for a variety of culinary bites from local eateries including Keystone Bar & Grill, 20 Brix, Elegant Fare and more. Wild Carrot will provide toe-tapping music on the porch where additional food and beverages can be purchased.

“We have such a strong network of nature enthusiasts in our community and Cincinnati Nature Center would like to reach out to them and others who may be unaware of all we have to offer,” said Marissa Tucker, CNC’s Community Coordinator. “This event is a great way to bring people together to experience CNC and taste a sampling of local beer and food,” she added.

Hoots & Hops is hosted by CNC’s NEXT in Nature group. NEXT is an association of young members whose goal is to engage the next generation in nature. Tickets are limited and may be purchased online for $20.00 and, if available, at the event for $25.00. To register go to: www.CincyNature.org.
